Today, october 2016, the foundation stone were laid by HRH Crown Princess Mette-Marit for the new Munch Museum at Bjørvika in Oslo. The new museum will be equipped to house the city’s astonishing Munch collection of some 28,000 works of art, a 6th to 7th doubling of the capacity of the old outdated museum.

If everything goes according to plan, the new Munch Museum will open to the public in 2020. Here, travellers from all over the world will enjoy the famous painter’s most notable works, such as “The Scream”, “Madonna” and “Girls on the Bridge”.
